Using deep inelastic neutron scattering, direct measurements have been made, i) of the dynamic structure factor of a series of condensed argon samples over the temperature range 18 to 85 K, near melting (for wave-vector transfers 12 to 26 Ä 1 ) and ii) of liquid neon, near 27 K (for wave-vector transfers 10.4 to 27.6 Ä 1 ) . Neutron time-of-flight chopper spectrometers were employed. Singlepart...
